This
is from ABC News, hardly a bastion of Conservative thought or support
for the War On Terror. But, they report that American officials have
found "smoking gun" evidence that Iran has been arming terror groups
inside Iraq. From the article:
| U.S.
officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support
for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories.
According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently
seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates
in 2006. This
suggests, say the sources, that the material is going directly from
Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather than taking a roundabout
path through the black market. "There is no way this could be done
without (Iranian) government approval," says a senior official. |
And ...
| Evidence
is mounting, too, that the most powerful militia in Iraq, Moktada
al-Sadr's Mahdi army, is receiving training support from the
Iranian-backed terrorists of Hezbollah. Two
senior U.S. defense officials confirmed to ABC News earlier reports
that fighters from the Mahdi army have traveled to Lebanon to receive
training from Hezbollah. |
And
the leaks for the Baker-Hamilton Commission are that we are supposed to
sit down and make nice-nice with these people? Makes you wonder what
the members of that Commission have been smoking recently.
